</div>The mail you posted is hard to follow for me, because<br>
i don't really understand what 'rescued ephemeron' means.<br>
Is it the one who initially seen without its key being marked, but<br>
then after full graph traversal<br>
has it key marked?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>In the above a rescued ephemeron is an ephemeron with an unreachable key, an ephemeron which should be finalized. I don't think it is good terminology. I prefer bereaved ephemeron, since a bereaved ephemeron is one referring to an object that would die were it not for the reference from ephemerons. Other less poetic terms would be triggered, or active.</div>

The ephemerons extension to GC are quite simple (it explains why it<br>
took me 1 day to get initial implementation working).<br>
<br>
The only implication of ephemerons,<br>
that you need to fulfill is that you mark all reachable objects before<br>
analyzing ephemerons queue.<br>
And during analysis you have to make sure that again, you are marking<br>
all reachable objects<br>
discovered through ephemerons, whose keys are marked.<br>
If you obey the above rules, then there's not much to fear about. It<br>
will just work :)<br>
